Jose Mourinho is keen to bring Dani Alves to Chelsea in the January transfer window, according to reports.

The Blues are thought to be assessing the defensive options available to them after conceding 12 goals in their first six games, although they did keep their first clean sheet of the season against Arsenal on Saturday.

According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, though, Mourinho intends to bring Alves to Stamford Bridge, and could be mulling over a £14.5million bid for the Brazilian right-back, who registered a remarkable 12 assists in all competitions last season.

Chelsea are also believed to be interested in Valencia left-back Jose Luis Gaya, but may well be put off by his £36.1m release clause.
